1. Introduction This guide describes how to use the VoiceAttack voice recognition application to control

Elite:Dangerous. Although VoiceAttack can be used to control almost *any* game or other Windows

application, this guide focuses on the current Alpha build of the game Elite:Dangerous by Frontier

Developments. Note that screen images included in this guide are from the latest Alpha build and

may change in future versions of the game.

Also in this guide, I’ll show you how to configure VoiceAttack to work in harmony with TeamSpeak to

allow you to comfortably chat to your friends and use voice control at the same time without

sounding ridiculous to those listening or accidently ejecting all your cargo into space!

2. Who is this guide aimed at? You, Commander!

Although you might not realise this now, using VoiceAttack *will* enhance your Elite:Dangerous

experience! With so many control options in-game, it is difficult (or near impossible) to map all

controls to your chosen controller. Even if you are using a keyboard and mouse for the game, you

will often forget which key you mapped to toggle the cargo scoop, or find it difficult to reach the

‘Flight Assists’ key while in the middle of a dogfight for example. This is where VoiceAttack comes

into its own – you no longer need to remember the keyboard binding for silent running or anything

else, you can simply tell your craft what to do!

3. Why would I want to use voice activation? You can use your voice as an additional controller and keep your hands in a constant position on

your joystick, joypad or mouse and keys.

Voice input is also extremely useful for users who are playing Elite:Dangerous using the Oculus Rift.

While wearing the Rift, you lose sight of your keyboard and cannot easily find keys that you couldn’t

map to chosen controller.

Commanders who are physically disabled will also find voice activation an invaluable tool that will

allow them to gain access to the Elite:Dangerous universe that they might not otherwise have access

to.

Because it’s 34th century, Baby! Voice activated controls is very ‘futuristic’ and something that every

Sidewinder pilot has come to expect from their pride and joy. In the 34th century, voice recognition

is an expected feature in even the most basic of all domestic appliances. In the future, even the fruit

juicer is voice controlled!

4. Not convinced? If it’s not immediately obvious just how useful voice activation is, you can download a trial version of

VoiceAttack from http://www.voiceattack.com/download.aspx and try it for free for 21 days! If you

like what you see after this time, you can purchase a full license for $8 (roughly £5) direct from

http://www.voiceattack.com/purchase.aspx. The full version allows you to configure any number of

‘profiles’ to allow you control your games or other Windows applications. It also allows you to ‘bind’

an unlimited number of voice commands to keys and macros within a single profile whereas the trial

version limits you to a single profile and a maximum of 20.

5. Who are you, and do you work for VoiceAttack? I am a backer of Elite:Dangerous and am currently using VoiceAttack to enhance my gaming

experience. I am in no way connected to VoiceAttack or its creators. I take no royalties in

promoting VoiceAttack and do not wish to. I’m just a very satisfied customer who thinks it’s a great

product that more people should know about.

6. Are we there yet? Yes!

And now for the juicy bits everyone is here for.

7. Installing VoiceAttack To download and install VoiceAttack, head over to http://www.voiceattack.com/download.aspx and

download the 21 day free trial. If you like what you see, you can purchase a license key for $8 from

http://www.voiceattack.com/purchase.aspx (PayPal and all major credit cards accepted).

Once downloaded, simply run the installer. There is a list of pre-requisites detailed in the help

document, but I’ll list the main ones here for convenience:

Windows 7, 8 or Vista

.NET framework 3.5

Microphone. A good, clear microphone will significantly improve speech recognition and

your experience with VoiceAttack!

A trained Speech Recognition Engine. Although this is not essential, a well-trained speech

engine will greatly improve the recognition accuracy. It’s well worth running through the

‘Train your computer to better understand you’ option at least once. This can be found in

the Control Panel under ‘Speech Recognition’ .

a) Run as Administrator

In order for VoiceAttack to work correctly with Elite:Dangerous, it should run with Administrator

privileges.

To enable this, you can right-click on the VoiceAttack shortcut on your desktop and select ‘Run as

administrator’ or you can modify the desktop shortcut to always run the application with

administrator privileges. To do this, right-click on the desktop shortcut and select ‘Properties’.

Select the ‘Compatibility’ tab and make sure the ‘Run this program as an administrator’ checkbox is

checked. Press the ‘OK’ button to dismiss the dialog and then use the same shortcut to launch Voice

Attack.

Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack Page 5

b) VoiceAttack - main screen

1 - Audio indicator

This icon indicates the status of your commands (recognized, unrecognized, error), as well as a way

to tell if your mic is muted.

2 - Options button

Opens the options screen where you will find various settings for VoiceAttack (See 'Options Screen').

Additionally, the registration screens for VoiceAttack are available through this button (see

'Registration Screen').

3 - Profile management buttons

These three buttons will allow you to edit, delete and export your currently-selected profile.

4 - Profile selector

Drop down the list to select one of your created profiles. Initially, this list will be empty until you

create your first profile.

5 - 'Send commands to' selector

When VoiceAttack recognizes a command, it needs a place to send input. You can either send input

to the active window (almost always the most likely case), or, you can choose to send the input to a

named process. To choose the active window, simply choose, 'Active Window' (the first item in the

list).

To select a named process, just drop down the process list. This is useful if you are working in one

application (maybe writing a term paper) and want to send command actions to a window that is

minimized. You would find your game in the drop down list and select it. Kind of advanced, but, it

has its uses :)

6 - Listening button

This is a toggle button that enables/disables VoiceAttack's 'listening'.

Keyboard shortcuts toggle

This toggle button enables/disables VoiceAttack's keyboard shortcuts.

Page 6: Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack · PDF fileVoice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using ... How do I stop my voice commands being broadcast? ... Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous

Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack Page 6

Stop Commands button

This will halt all macros that are in progress. Useful if your macros happen to be long.

This is an advanced feature. Please read the complete VoiceAttack help document for more details.

7 - Recognition log

This log shows what VoiceAttack is 'hearing' and the actions that VoiceAttack is invoking. This list is

quite useful when determining if you need to speak more clearly or rethink the names of your

commands. Its also a lot of fun to say weird phrases and see what the speech recognition engine

*thinks* you said. Fun for the whole family (maybe). Right-clicking on this log will allow you to copy

and clear the text.

Note : Right-clicking (or double-clicking) a 'Recognized' log entry will take you to the 'Edit Command'

screen for the selected command in the current profile. If the log entry is 'Unrecognized', you will be

taken to the 'Add Command' screen. This is to aid in testing new commands.

8 - Level Bar

A graphical indicator of the microphone input for VoiceAttack.

9 - Compact Mode

Click this button to toggle between VoiceAttack's full-size and compact modes.

8. Creating a profile for Elite:Dangerous Drop down the Profile selector, and select ‘<Create a New Profile>’. The ‘Add Profile’ window should

appear.

Give your profile the name ‘Elite Dangerous’ and click ‘Done’.

You should now see ‘Elite Dangerous’ appear in the Profile selection box.

a) What is a profile?

A profile is a set of voice commands that are used to control a single game or application. If you

wanted to use VoiceAttack to control many different games or applications, you would create a

separate profile for each.

For now, we just want to configure a Profile for Elite:Dangerous, so you only need to create a single

profile for now.

b) Adding your first command

Once your profile is created, you need to add some commands for VoiceAttack to recognise.

With the profile ‘Elite Dangerous’ selected, press the edit profile icon.

You will now see the ‘Edit a Profile’ window that you saw when you created your profile. The

window shows which voice commands have been created. This will be empty until you add a new

command. To do that, press the button in the top right of the window. The ‘Add a

Command’ window will appear:

Page 7: Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack · PDF fileVoice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using ... How do I stop my voice commands being broadcast? ... Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous

Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack Page 7

I’m going to cover the simple stuff in this guide, but to find out what all the options do, head over to

the VoiceAttack web site and check out the help document at

http://www.voiceattack.com/files/voiceattackhelp.html.

For now, we are going to create a command that deploys and retracts the hardpoints (weapons) in

our Sidewinder.

In the box to the right of ‘When I say :’, type the word ‘Deploy’. This is the word that VoiceAttack is

going to be listening for. You can use any word or words that you like here, but keeping it short

means that your commands are easier to remember, and also quicker to speak (resulting in faster

recognition).

In Elite:Dangerous, the default key binding for deploying hardpoints is the 'Enter’ key. So when you

say ‘Deploy’, VoiceAttack needs to simulate you pressing the ‘Enter’ key. To do this, press the

button on the left to display the ‘Add a Keypress’ window:

Page 8: Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack · PDF fileVoice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using ... How do I stop my voice commands being broadcast? ... Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous

Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack Page 8

Simply press the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard and you should see the icon in the top right

change to .

Make sure the ‘Key Input Method’ is set to ‘Windows Game (DirectX)’ and press the OK button.

Leave the other setting as they are for now.

Back in the ‘Add a Command’ window, you should now see your keypress information appear in the

box in the centre.

Give your command the description ‘Deploy Hardpoints’ and press the OK button. Again, leave the

other settings at their default values.

You should now be back in the ‘Edit a Profile’ window with details of your new command displayed

at the top. Press the ‘Done’ button to return to the main VoiceAttack window.

You have just created your first voice command! Time to try it out.

c) Testing

To see if your new command is working, start the Elite:Dangerous Alpha and start the ‘Waste

Disposal’ single player scenario. Now say ‘Deploy’ and VoiceAttack should recognise your command

and then simulate the ‘Enter’ key.

If this works, VoiceAttack will show in the recognition log in the main window,

and your hardpoints should be deployed. Repeat as many times as you wish, adjusting the pitch,

speed and volume each time to get a feel for what VoiceAttack likes and what it doesn’t.

Note that if you are in a noisy environment, VoiceAttack might find it difficult to recognise what you

say. A quiet environment and a good microphone are recommended for best results.

Once you’re done, quit Elite:Dangerous and return to VoiceAttack.

Page 9: Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack · PDF fileVoice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using ... How do I stop my voice commands being broadcast? ... Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous

Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack Page 9

d) Adding more commands

Now you have one command working, it’s time to add some more. Click on the icon again to

edit your profile and use the button to create some more commands.

This time, create the following commands (or you can create your own if you wish):

Command Description Key

Targets View the Targets Panel 1 Scanner View the Radar 2 Systems View the Systems Panel 3 Target Ahead Select Target Ahead T Target Next Cycle Next Target G Lights Toggle Ship Lights L Zoom In Decrease Sensor Range Page Down Zoom Out Increase Sensor Range Page Up

Once these commands have been created, re-launch Elite:Dangerous and follow the next section.

e) Mapping VoiceAttack commands to Elite:Dangerous

Because VoiceAttack is simulating key presses, the keys that are configured in VoiceAttack must map

correctly to the required action within Elite:Dangerous.

To ensure this is the case, enter the options menu and select .

For each command that you created in VoiceAttack, locate the appropriate key binding and ensure

the key that is in use is the one you defined.

For example, locate the following section:

You can see that the commands created for viewing ‘Target’, ‘Systems’ and ‘Radar’ panels already

use the keys ‘1’, ‘3’ and ‘2’. These are the same keys you defined in your VoiceAttack profile, so

these are correctly mapped.

If the keys do not map correctly, you can either change your VoiceAttack profile to use the same key

that is configured in Elite:Dangerous, or change the key binding within the game to match the one

you selected in your VoiceAttack profile. However, if you do the later, be careful not select a key

that is already mapped to another in-game action as this will unbind the existing command!

If you wish to change the in-game key binding, left click the mouse over either of the two rectangles

to the right of the command name and press the key you wish to bind. Note that you can bind two

Page 10: Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack · PDF fileVoice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using ... How do I stop my voice commands being broadcast? ... Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous

Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack Page 10

keys or inputs to a single command. This is useful if you wish to use a key press and also a joystick

button to activate a single command.

Tip: To quickly test to see if a specific key is already bound to an in-game action, simply press the key

while in and the current binding will be shown at the bottom of the screen.

f) Categories

Once you start to add more commands to your VoiceAttack profile, it is a good idea to start grouping

them into ‘Categories’. For example, commands that are relating to targeting could be added to the

‘Targeting’ category, and commands relating to power management to the ‘Power’ category.

To do this, enter the ‘Edit a Profile’ window to show all of your commands. At first, the ‘Category’

column will be empty. Double-click on a command to bring up the ‘Edit a Command’ window.

Directly under the description, you will see a ‘Category’ selection box. At first, there will be no

categories to select. To create a category, simply type its name into the box. Once a category has

been created, it can be selected by pressing on the button on the right side of the category

selection box and selecting it from the drop-down list.

Adding category information to your commands makes it easy to view them grouped by category in

the ‘Edit a Profile’ screen. To do this, simply click on the ‘Category’ heading at the top of the

window. Similarly, clicking on any of the headings will sort your commands by values in that column.

Clicking a column header multiple times will toggle between sorting the data in an ascending and

then descending order.

g) Saving your profile

VoiceAttack profiles are saved automatically as you edit them. However, it’s a good idea to make a

copy of the profile for backup purposes.

From the main VoiceAttack window, click on the icon to bring up the Export Profile window. By

default, all commands within a profile will be backed up, but you can be selective if you wish by

using the checkboxes beside each command to select the ones to backup and which to ignore.

Once you’ve selected the command to export, click the button to select a destination to

which to save your profile and click the Save button.

9. Using with TeamSpeak This section describes how you can use VoiceAttack in conjunction with TeamSpeak – a popular

voice chat application used to communicate between players using their voice.

As both VoiceAttack and TeamSpeak use your voice as input, you can run into issues when both

programs are used at the same time. So if you want to voice control Elite:Dangerous, but also have

the option to chat to your friends at the same time, then some configuration is required to make this

work seamlessly. Without the configuration, the following will happen:

When issuing a voice command to VoiceAttack, that command will also be broadcast to your

friends over TeamSpeak. This will definitely sound a bit ‘odd’ if you are at the receiving end

of the conversation!

Page 11: Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack · PDF fileVoice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using ... How do I stop my voice commands being broadcast? ... Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous

Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack Page 11

When you are chatting to your friends over TeamSpeak, VoiceAttack might recognise what

you are saying and perform in-game actions that you weren’t meaning to, like ejecting all

your cargo!

Both of these situations can be avoided if by just a little configuration.

a) How do I stop my voice commands being broadcast?

This can be achieved by configuring TeamSpeak to use ‘Push-To-Talk’, meaning that a key or

controller button must be pressed in order to broadcast what you are saying. When configured, you

should only press the configured key when you wish to broadcast. When not pressed, everything

you say will be private.

To configure TeamSpeak for Push-To-Talk, Select Settings from the menu, followed by Options.

When the options are displayed, select from the list on the left. Make sure the Push-

To-Talk option is selected and press the button. A grey window will appear prompting

you to select a hotkey combination. Press the ‘/’ key next to the right Shift key on your keyboard to

select that key. This is a good key to use as it is not by default used by Elite:Dangerous and will

therefore not clash with existing key bindings for the game.

You can also assign a controller button as your Push-To-Talk button, but this does not work as well

with VoiceAttack as will be discussed later.

b) How to stop voice recognition when chatting

To stop VoiceAttack from recognising words that you use when speaking to your friends on

TeamSpeak, you can configure it to stop listening when you press a specific key. This means that

while that key is pressed, VoiceAttack will ignore everything you say.

To configure this, press the on the top of the VoiceAttack main window. This will enter the

options screen.

Press the button to the right of ‘Recognition Global Hotkey : Dsiabled’ to show the global

hotkey configuration screen:

Page 12: Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack · PDF fileVoice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using ... How do I stop my voice commands being broadcast? ... Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous

Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack Page 12

To select a key to stop VoiceAttack from listening, click on ‘Enable keyboard global hotkey’ to place a

tick in the box to the left of it. Now press the ‘/’ key on your keyboard. This is the same key as the

Push-To-Talk key used in TeamSpeak from the previous section. Now select the ‘VoiceAttack stops

listening while keys are down’ option. You should now have something that looks like this:

Press the OK button to save your changes and again to close the Options window.

c) Mapping a Push-To-Talk key to your controller

Not that TeamSpeak is configured to only broadcast your voice when the ‘/’ key is pressed, and

VoiceAttack will only listen when the same key is not pressed, it is advisable to map one of your

controller button to activate the ‘/’ key. If your controller does not allow this, then you can use a

Page 13: Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack · PDF fileVoice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using ... How do I stop my voice commands being broadcast? ... Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous

Voice Controlling Elite:Dangerous using VoiceAttack Page 13

controller button as your Push-To-Talk key in TeamSpeak. Unfortunately, VoiceAttack cannot use

controller input to control when it listens, and so if you need to do this, VoiceAttack will be listening

when you are chatting to your friends and could falsely trigger a command it recognises.

If you are using a Saitek X52 or X52 Pro, you can use the Saitek Smart Technology (SST) software to

map a controller button to the ‘/’ key. Once you have done this, pressing the button on the

controller will broadcast your voice to TeamSpeak, and when released, VoiceAttack will be listening

for commands.

It is possible to configure other joysticks to generate keyboard button clicks, but that is beyond the

scope of this guide.

If you are using the keyboard and mouse to play Elite:Dangerous, then you can use the ‘/’ key

directly, or another more convenient key if you wish (depending on your existing key bindings).

d) Short of buttons on my controller

If you have already mapped all of the buttons on your controller to actions within Elite:Dangerous,

but you wish to use VoiceAttack and TeamSpeak, you can create a voice command for one of your

existing key bindings, and use the button on the controller for controlling speech. For example, if

you have mapped a controller button to toggling Flight Assists on and off, create a VoiceAttack

command for performing the same action, and then use the now free controller button for speech!
